Understanding Negative Number Operations and Equivalent Expressions

This video tutorial covers the addition and subtraction of negative numbers, focusing on identifying mistakes in expression evaluation and understanding equivalent expressions. It also explores the associative property and how the order of operations affects the outcome of arithmetic expressions. The tutorial uses examples from Khan Academy exercises to reinforce these concepts.
